Israel is in the area defined as a hotspot of climate change, meaning that its effects are expected to be more pronounced here.
The vulnerability of climate change is not only affected by exposure to climate change and extreme events, but also by the sensitivity of the population living in the exposed area or the infrastructures located there, as well as by the ability of communities, institutions and services to prepare for change, adapt to it and recover from it.
Therefore, it is important to understand what the factors that determine vulnerability are and to map them. (ANI/TPS)
